Do you have questions about our practice? You’re always welcome to call our office directly for over-the-phone answers, but for your convenience, we’ve also put together an FAQ list below. Take a look and let us know if you need more information!
What is a prosthodontist?
In a nutshell, prosthodontists specialize in making dental restorations. If you need dentures, crowns, bridges, or dental implants, this is the type of expert you’ll want to visit! Their advanced training helps ensure you’ll receive top-notch treatment and quality dental work.
How can I make a same-day appointment with a dentist?
If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, our team can help you arrange for a same-day appointment over the phone. We might ask you to describe your symptoms in more detail – rest assured, this is to help us determine the severity of your situation. If you’ve sustained injury or are unsure how to handle a broken tooth, for example, we can provide first aid guidance and tips for relieving discomfort.
Can I receive sedation for my dental appointment?
Yes! Our practice is proud to offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for anxious patients. We typically recommend nitrous oxide (a.k.a. laughing gas) for those with mild to moderate anxiety or discomfort. If you tend to experience more severe symptoms during dental treatment, then it might be more effective for us to prescribe an oral conscious pill. Contact our team well before your appointment, and we can help you determine which options is best for you!
Do you provide dental implant surgery?
Both Dr. Adam Jones and Dr. Giuliana Diaz Jones are board-certified prosthodontists that maintain active membership status with the American College of Prosthodontists and the Academy of Osseointegration. As such, they’re well-qualified to perform the entire dental implant in-house, including implant surgery.

Why do you treat sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea and is often caused by airway blockage. In this case, overrelaxed oral tissue or jaw misalignment can prevent your body from receiving adequate oxygen while you rest, which prompts your brain to wake you up – or at least interrupt your sleep cycle. Dentists can actually mitigate obstructions and improve airflow with customized oral appliances. So if you have OSA, it actually makes a lot of sense to see an oral cavity expert!
